Using the iPad I can only get an obtuse view, but is it Lloyd’s Bank Hythe?

Margate?


Not Margate Lutonman.  It did have a brewery but not a terminus station.


The bones is a good clue to the town.

A well-known alcoholic beverage was made in this town.  It was later brewed by a large company.  The brewery has since been demolished.  The building that was the office for this brewery is in the same street as my door photo.

Grandarog and Beachbum.  Good thinking both, but not the right locations.


Further clue.  There is a railway terminus here.

I believe  its a police station, JW.  The crossed glazing bars above being the clue.  Its not Ramsgate but I cannot pin it down, so I throw the clue in to help others.

I can understand your thinking DTT but unfortunately not a police station.  I don't think this building was ever a police station as there is a building not far away that was the old police station.  The side street beside this building has the same name as the purpose of this building.
